*** Carnegie Mellon Class of 2019 RD Discussion and Results Thread***

I finally got into the portal, but clicked financial aid notification instead of admissions, and now I can’t get back in…more waiting for me :stuck_out_tongue: but congrats to everyone!!

Accepted and applied for FA but didn’t have those two documents!

Question, I got waitlisted to both SCS and CIT and I got on the priority list but the letter says something about possibly not opening any spots for ECE, so they put me on the waitlist for other majors within CIT. However, the letter doesn’t mention anything about SCS but my portal still says I am waitlisted for SCS. Does that mean I am also priority waitlisted for SCS even though it’s not mentioned in the letter?

still down for me… Means rejection?

GOT IN!!!

Accepted to Lehigh, Villanova, Northeastern
Rejected from RIce, UVA, Vanderbilt
Waitlisted from Notre Dame

General Comments:

Waitlisted, offered the opportunity to be on the priority waiting list (I think everyone who gets on the waitlist gets that offer though???). Probably will be on the regular waiting list as CMU is not really my first choice. Congrats to all those who got in though!

lets me login but crashes after that :frowning:

does the website show the financial aid offer and also
hmm have to decide berkeley or cmu for premed ahhh

try switching browsers, thats what I did! I got into the Bachelor of Humanities and Arts program, which is a part of HSS and art! I got rejected at TSB though

Finally loaded, financial aid section said it was still being processed

To anyone accepted/waitlisted and not planning on going to CMU, you guys should notify CMU of that ASAP so people on the priority waitlist have more of a chance :wink:

cannot load at all… I’m so stressed out

rejected :frowning:

accepted, just got the web work for a short perios and now it is crashed again

So I guess I got waitlisted
Oh well
I’m on a roll for waitlists it’s almost comical

Accepted, but just as I went to view the official letter, it crashed. Isn’t CMU supposed to be the #1 computer science school?

i have been waiting for nearly 2 hours now… website loads but crashes after log in. this is highly frustrating and I probably won’t get in in the end anyways

ACCEPTED INTO SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AHHH WOOOO
